Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
Service Intervals
Your vehicle should generally be serviced on an as-needed basis. However, Tesla
recommends the following maintenance items
and intervals, as applicable to your vehicle, to ensure continued reliability and efficiency of
your Model X.

Punctured Tires
A puncture eventually causes the tire to lose pressure, which is why it is important to check
tire pressures frequently. Permanently repair
or replace punctured or damaged tires as
soon as possible.
Your tubeless tires may not leak when
penetrated, provided the object remains in the tire. If, however, you feel a sudden vibration or
ride disturbance while driving, or you suspect a tire is damaged, immediately reduce yourspeed. Drive slowly, while avoiding heavy
braking or sharp steering and, when safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Arrange to have Model X
transported to a Tesla Service Center, or to a nearby tire repair center.
Note: In some cases, you can temporarily
repair small tire punctures (under 1/4” (6
mm)) using an optional tire repair kit available
from Tesla. This allows you to slowly drive
Model X to Tesla or to a nearby tire repair
facility.Warning: Do not drive with a punctured
tire that has not been repaired, even if the puncture has not caused the tire to
de

Instructions for Transporters
DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front motor in Model X generates power
when the wheels spin. Always transport Model X with all four tires off the ground.
Ensure that the tires are unable to spin at any
time during transport.
Warning: NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR
VEHICLE WITH THE TIRES IN A
POSITION WHERE THEY CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN RARE CASES EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY
CAUSE THE SURROUNDING
COMPONENTS TO IGNITE.
Do not transport Model X using any method
that is not specified by Tesla. Adhere to the
instructions provided in the following sections
and observe all warnings and cautions provided. Damage caused by impropertransporting of your vehicle is not covered by
the warranty.
Note: Tesla is not liable or responsible for
reimbursing services not dispatched through
Tesla Roadside Assistance.
Approved Methods for Transporting Note: The tires are allowed to rotate slowly
(under 3 mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short
